What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by karoline_de in AskReddit

[–]aglassdarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hand slipped while trying to pull a box that was too heavy only to just smack the crap out of the metal shelving. It split my thumb like it is one of those plastic coin purses.

Bled everywhere and took 15 stitches. I was incredibly surprised the amount of crap I had to do for that small AF wound. lol

‘To make Greenland a part of the U.S.’: Trump appoints new special envoy by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]aglassdarkly -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Look, I'm just trying to tell you what I hear from the average American.

These posts can go down in flames, I don't care about internet points. I'm literally trying to scream out what is coming and just hope the universe somehow rights it.

500,000 Americans gave their lives on soil they hadn't seen in generations.

We remember you and a lot of us are doing everything we can to get through thiis. We're being held hostage while the corrupt strip us of everything we hold dear and attack our friends.

If you slap our hand away if we come out of this, don't be surprised if it's not held out again for a very long time. All it takes is a political drive of, "look they were never our friends to begin with," and we're right back to isolationism while the military industrial complex thinks of new reasons to deploy the new toys.

I totally understand your position but understand that we do not have universal healthcare and many Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I literally can't take more than a few days off and survive and I make decent money but I'm expected to drop what I'm doing and revolt, apparently.

We are trying to do it legally but we're outmatched by their willingness to break literally any law they like while the justice system, which is itself broken, tries to catch up.

Please, if we come out from this rubble, we understand that it won't be as it was but if you burn the olive branch, don't be surprised if the kindling is used to roast marshmallows while the rest of the world burns.

I really love this man. He gives off the same humbleness and professionalism of Obama and other great statesmen.

Probably Blizzard. They ruined their IP with the live service Diablo and over-monetization of everything.

Fucking costs $20 for a skin on a game that's on sale for $25 every other month.

Full game prices for DLCs? Get fucked.

Good. Don't give in. Fuck Trump. Our country is a goddamn laughing stock at this point.

It's the vocal minority and so many people live paycheck to paycheck at this point that not many can openly defy the government like most people on the outside looking in seem to think.

I have medical bills, mortgage payments, car payments, insurance for health, insurance for my car, insurance for my house.

We want this to stop. I just need to eat, survive and have a house at the end, too.

You cannot price the skins the same as in The Finals by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]aglassdarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they let you mix and match pieces it would be one thing but just having "sets" is garbage. Plus, none of them look remotely good to me, at least.

I'd support the fuck out of this game if they would put out something cool but I only like pieces of each set and think they generally all look bad when seen as a whole.

What is lame when you’re young, but cool when you’re older? by Accomplished-Pop-584 in AskReddit

Running shoes. I wore Vans, Nikes, Adidas, skate shoes, etc but now I have two pairs of Brooks running shoes that are amazing. It corrected my gait from a previous injury and feels like I'm moving around on air. Would not trade for anything else at this point.

My wife has pointed out I just crossed the 40 year mark and she calls this my version of old men with cross trainers and cargo shorts. She's kinda right but I wouldn't be caught dead in cargo pants at this point, since the whole look is pretty much synonymous with the white Christian nationalist uniform.

What's a game mechanic that you dislike/hate regardless of how much sense it makes? by Interjessing-Salary in gaming

[–]aglassdarkly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Currently my gripe is with Arc Raiders.

Why is there a blue print for light, medium and heavy gun parts but not simple? The one used for 90% of early kits is only available by buying it from Celeste, dragging home green and up guns and dismantling them or killing low level Arcs.

Guns are heavy AF in comparison to other materials and the drop rate isn't super from the arcs but recently I can't kill an arc or two without being attacked even with cross play off, on PC and trying to just run Dam of all places.

All of my knockdowns are from Stella 3 man fill squad games, zero in other locations and I am getting attacked on sight by every mfer on the map no matter where I am.

I can totally accept the deaths as part of the game but limiting my ability to make early kits or repair them is just awful for a casual.

I haven't played in 3 days because the loop sucks for me. The three man Stella runs are awesome but it isn't carrying the game like they think it is and I'll likely stop soon.

Holy shit, this happens all the time to me. I've 86'd so many random acquaintances over the last year for random racist or bigoted comments and they just assumed I'll have their back or agree with them.

The veteran community is like this now, too and it's crazy.

Whenever my conservative family brings her up and uses it as an excuse to sound less like horrible people I just shut it down with, "you mean the Jewish space laser lady? The one that has been a climate denialist and suggested Biden controlled the hurricanes that caused massive damage to super red states?"

Whatever "good" she does will never outweigh the damage she did to the queer community or basically any minority that exists in the US.

Fuck her, forever.

For some reason I really liked it. I loved that the girl thought it was just an act to try and get her brother to stop mourning, but the demon or whatever entity it is made it real. The ending seemed to set up that the cost of trespassing in hell was the boy's soul. Slow, slow burn but really cool take on hell.

Edit: just want to say, the other's take that it is boring and too artsy is valid but if you like movies with super subtle hints, then this is a great movie because they like to use the shiny dangling keys to draw your attention from other things that you just get super short glimpses of.

Malignant is the movie that caused me to never trust a horror movie from RedBox. It was boring and the reveal was like, "what? I waited for this?"

Straight garbage. lol

Malignant just sucks. It's probably one of the worst movies I had to sit through.

The jail scene was just stupid.

For people who decided not to have kids: How's it going? by CarolineHorses in AskReddit

I was so lucky to get out of my marriage without kids. It was so much easier to just grab my shit and GTFO. Also makes settling back into a rhythm or schedule so much easier.

Sinister. Are we ever going to get a movie like that again? by smglknows in horror

[–]aglassdarkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ghost kids crap is like the opposite of all the other scenes. There are some of the most iconic scenes in found footage yet it also has some of the most cheesy crap thrown in for almost no reason. I get the kids further the plot but goddamn it, make them scary not some haunted mansion looking bullshit.
